12 Men posted to The Ballroom this morning to put in some serious work. YHC alluded to what was coming the night before on the Twitter Machine and was curious to see who would show. 5 of us put in 3+ miles prior to the workout and we picked up Sasquatch who was on his way to Golden Corral (sorry guys). Quick disclaimer by me that I have never in fact read the disclaimer, but did my best to explain the spirit of said disclaimer. With that we Moseyed…

About .25 mile mosey to quick COP

COP
25 SSH (IC)
25 Mtn Climbers (IC)
10 Windmills (IC)
20 IW (IC)

Mosey just a few yards away to one of the parking lots and disclosed we would be doing a Murph workout (slightly modified). The Murph consists of the following:

The Murph
1 Mile Run
100 Pullups Curb Dips (Modified)
200 Merkins
300 Squats
1 Mile Run

For this Murph we partnered up. One partner would be running .20 miles while the other was completing the exercise. Upon return, exchange roles. Since we were partnered up, each team needed to complete 200 Curb Dips, 400 Merkins and 600 Squats. Then began the groans. I said we would be working. About 35-40 minutes later we were done and all teams had completed the Murph. Quick mosey back to COT. Strong work by the Pax and a lot of encouragement coming from everyone. For some of you it was your first Murph! 2.5+ Miles for the Murph and 5.5+ Miles for those with Extra Credit! Outstanding job!

The story of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy can be found here and is a great read. A true American Hero!

Half of the Pax that posted this morning ran to the workout!!! I am truly impressed and was proud to lead such a fine crew. Thanks to Ludicrous Speed Go! + Axl and Sasquatch for the morning run. Y’all are nuts (takes one to know one)! Tclaps to Copperfield for grinding it out this morning. 3 weeks in and he gets hit with a Murph! Great to meet Bass-A-matic! Virtual trophy has to go to Sasquatch (congrats on the marriage). The guy must have been keeping a 7 minute pace and does textbook squats (Name Change to Sasquats?). I was chasing him the whole time. Additionally, Tclaps goes out to those that finished “early” and continued to do squats/running until the 6 came in. Not much more to it folks. This morning consisted of a lot of work, a lot of pain, great fellowship and breathy mumblechatter! Great way to start a Tuesday!
